Summary: A few lines about my dad.




If my rock is to crumble,
what of me?
Will I drown in foaming waters?
Will the precipice devour my soft flesh?

A rock is supposed to be strong,
invincible.
Yet the fractures are there -
deep veins of destruction
destined to be our undoing.

I can't stand for you
to be undone.
